Hot Summer Night

Verse 1
One hot summer night, didn’t see it coming
Walked into the moment, heart started running
Didn’t know a glance could change my whole world
Then I saw her standing there… that girl

Couldn’t look away, something pulled me in
Like a fire under skin I’d never been in
Time stood still, everything felt right
Lost inside her in the neon light

Pre-Chorus
Completely gone, yeah I lost control
She had a way of getting to my soul

Chorus
One hot summer night, we were burning alive
Didn’t need a reason, didn’t question why
Passion like a spark that would never fade
Every move, every word, every risk we made

Weeks went by, still I’m falling fast
Every little moment, praying it would last
Her eyes, her smile, her wild, her sass
Yeah I fell hard… and damn, what an ass

⸻

Verse 2
Passion wrapped tight, we were tangled deep
Dreaming out loud, losing track of sleep
Old Frankfort Pike, just driving nowhere
Windows down, wind running through her hair

Casino nights, laughing like fools
Breaking all the safe and sensible rules
Didn’t see an end, didn’t feel the fall
Felt like forever… like we had it all

Pre-Chorus
Future in her eyes, I could almost see
The man I always knew I could be

Chorus
One hot summer night, we were burning alive
Didn’t need a reason, didn’t question why
Passion like a spark that would never fade
Every move, every word, every risk we made

Weeks went by, still I’m falling fast
Every little moment, praying it would last
Her eyes, her smile, her wild, her sass
Yeah I fell hard… and damn, what an ass

⸻

Bridge
Then the past came knocking at my door
All the things I tried to ignore
Fear crept in, couldn’t let it show
But I was terrified she’d go

I love her now, I can’t lose this
Standing on the edge of everything we built
Do I run or do I stay?
Do I risk it all… or fade away?

⸻

Breakdown (soft)
She brought out something I couldn’t explain
Through every scar, through every pain
Friday nights, building up my truth
She found the fire I buried in my youth

⸻

Final Chorus (big)
One hot summer night, changed everything
Gave my heart a reason just to feel again
Through the fear, through the doubt, through the past I hide
She’s the reason that I’m still alive

Yeah weeks go by, but it feels like fate
Every second with her I appreciate
Her eyes, her smile, her wild, her sass
Yeah I fell hard… and I ain’t looking back
